Fat-Finger Protection: Click-to-Fill Your Trades with Confidence
Even the most seasoned traders can fall victim to typing errors when entering price or quantity by hand. Xtrading addresses this common pain point with a new Click-to-Fill feature in the order book—what we call Fat-Finger Protection.
How It Works
Click, Don’t Type
• Instead of manually typing figures, you can click any row on the Long or Short side in the order book.
• The corresponding price and quantity instantly populate the order form—no guesswork required.
Seamlessly Align Your Position
• If you click on the Long side, the system automatically cues a Buy (Long) order.
• A Short-side click positions you for a Sell (Short) order.
• This ensures there’s zero confusion or mix-up in the side you want to trade.
Paired with Keyboard Shortcuts
• Combine Click-to-Fill with keyboard shortcuts to swiftly set your leverage, confirm the order, or adjust size—in just a few keystrokes.
Why It Matters
• Reduced Errors: Eliminate slip-ups that come from mistyping a decimal or transposing digits.
• Speed & Efficiency: Accelerate order placement—particularly crucial in fast-moving markets.
• Peace of Mind: Confidence in every trade, knowing you’re protected against the most common input mistakes.
By marrying Click-to-Fill with keyboard shortcuts, Xtrading delivers an enhanced, user-friendly experience that lets you focus on market strategy, rather than double-checking your entries.
